USAID Support Improved TB Patient Tracking Among Nomadic Populations in Karamoja Sub-region Ruto, however, did not give up on finding Margaret. He continued to check if Margaret had returned to her home whenever he visited other TB patients in Kukayim village for adherence support. He also regularly called her next of kin to find out if Margaret had returned from Ochorichor village. After five months of tracking Margaret, Ruto found her back at her home unwell. He encouraged her to return to Amudat hospital for review by the health workers. Margaret is one of the 350 TB patients and more who have been successfully traced by USAID Program for Accelerated Control of TB in Karamoja (PACT Karamoja)’s community teams after failing to keep their monthly clinic appointments. Ruto attributes their success in tracking the patients to teamwork and persistence. “We did not give up the first time when we failed to find her. We continued looking for her.” Ruto says. However, he is also quick to appreciate the enabling support given by the USAID PACT Karamoja activity which facilitates his work. “It is also good that the project provided phones in the TB clinic and airtime. We had to make many phone calls to find Margaret”. In December 2019, 68-year old Aleper Margaret Chepotee from Kukayim village, Ruto in Amudat town was diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) at Amudat Hospital. Margaret has since restarted her TB treatment and is ready to adhere to the Margaret was immediately started on TB treatment which she dutifully adhered to entire six months of therapy. Ruto continues to provide treatment for the first two months of treatment. But later, she started missing her clinic adherence support since he comes from the same village. Margaret appointments. Realizing that Margaret had missed two clinic visits, the community received health education about TB and now understands that the disease linkage facilitator from Amudat hospital Mr. Ruto Joseph on conducted a home will take six months to cure. She is also happy that Ruto brings her TB visit in an attempt to trace her. medicines at home since Amudat hospital is far. On arrival at her home, he was told that Margaret had traveled to Ochorichor, a “I am happy Ruto brings my medicine all the way up to my home. He also different village 28 kilometers from her home to take care of a sick relative and taught me that stopping to take the medicine was not good. I feel much did not have telephone contact. Efforts to trace her in Ochorichor through the better today after restarting treatment. I will continue on the treatment for community-owned resource person (CORP) overseeing that village was not six months. I will inform Ruto if I have to go away on any other journey”. successful and therefore declared lost to follow up in May 2020. Margaret said USAID - PACT KARAMOJA SUCCESS STORIES Door-to-Door TB screening by Community Owned Resource Persons (CORPs) in Kapakook central village, Kotido district. USAID-PACT Karamoja Collaborating with Community-Owned Resource Persons to Provide TB Services “I suffered with cough, body weakness and joint pain for a while and I thought it was malaria. I only confirmed that I had TB after going for screening” Gabriel Kubal, a resident of Lokodope village in Karenga district narrated. Several people with tuberculosis (TB) in Karamoja do not know that they have the disease. National TB statistics indicate that over 89,000 Ugandans get infected with tuberculosis every year, surpassing the 50,000 who contract HIV annually. With support from the American people, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Uganda partnered with Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) in the USAID PACT Karamoja Activity to build local initiatives towards the reduction of the TB burden in the Karamoja region. Karamoja region is one of the three areas in Uganda cited with a very high rate of TB spread. The region covers 9 districts that is Abim, Amudat, Kaabong, Karenga, Kotido, Moroto, Nabilatuk, Nakapiripirit and Napak. Due to the nomadic way of life of the people in this region, it is difficult to treat and follow up on TB patients as they move from one area to another, taking care of their livestock. As a result, this has led to an increase in spread of TB and a low rate of adherence to medication for people that were diagnosed with TB as well as an increase in the rate of spread of TB within the communities. In an effort to address these challenges, the USAID PACT Karamoja is working with community-owned resource persons (CORPs) who were introduced at the start of the project, to provide TB screening services in high-burden parishes, support referrals from communities to the facilities and work with community leadership to support those on treatment to adhere to their medication. Like many others, Gabriel was identified through active door-to-door screening by a CORP and then referred to the nearby facility where he was diagnosed with TB. Over the last four months, the CORPs in the region have screened over 13,000 people in the communities. They have also encouraged many more to go for TB screening, taught community members the signs and symptoms of the disease as well as ways of supporting the sick people within the communities. “There are many people within the villages that have been referred by their “I am grateful for the support I have received. Lucy encouraged me to go for family and friends with symptoms of TB. Some are able to go to health TB screening at the health centre. I am currently in my third month of centres for treatment however, others are afraid. They require treatment and I hope to continue with my medication as required.” Gabriel encouragement to get screened and treated if diagnosed,” says. He is one of the TB patients currently on treatment at Karenga HCIV enrolled through the CORPs.
